Title: Method for regulating a roasting furnace
Inventor: SIIRILA HEIKKI
IPC: C22B1/10
Filed: 2001-03-16
Granted: 2005-08-11
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of regulating a roasting furnace in fluidized bed roasting. Part of the roasting furnace grate is separated off into a separate grate section, known as the overflow grate, where the nozzles and the amount of roasting gas blown through them can be regulated independently of the main grate. It is advantageous to position the separately regulated grate in the section of the furnace where the overflow aperture is located.

Title: 2-alkylidene-19-nor-vitamin d compounds and their therapeutic uses
Inventor: SICINSKI RAFAL R
IPC: C07F7/18
Filed: 2001-03-29
Granted: 2005-05-19
Abstract: This invention provides a novel class of vitamin D related compounds, namely, the 2-alkylidene-19-nor-vitamin D derivatives, as well as a general method for their chemical synthesis. The compounds have the formula: where Y1 and Y2, which may be the same or different, are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydroxy-protecting group, R6 and R8, which may be the same or different, are each selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl and fluoroalkyl, or when taken together represent the group -(CH2)X- where X is an integer from 2 to 5, and where the group R represents any of the typical side chains known for vitamin D type compounds. These 2-substituted compounds are characterized by relatively high intestinal calcium transport activity and relatively high bone calcium mobilization activity resulting in novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases where bone formation is desired, particularly low bone turnover osteoporosis. These compounds also exhibit pronounced activity in arresting the proliferation of undifferentiated cells and inducing their differentiation to the monocyte thus evidencing use as anti-cancer agents and for the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis.

Title: Method for producing a rolled edge
Inventor: LUTHI RUDOLF
IPC: B21D51/38
Filed: 2002-03-18
Granted: 2007-08-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a rolled edge from an edge section ( 11 ) of a tube, wherein a flanging die is driven onto the edge section and flanges it into a roll. According to the invention, an initial area ( 14 ) of the edge section ( 11 ) is previously rolled in a positive fit manner by means of a forcibly controlled tool ( 30 ). This prevents buckling of the initial area ( 14 ), which has a controlled geometry as a result of rolling. The novel method is preferably used in the production of valve seats in so-called aerosol domes ( 10 ) for spray cans.

Title: A starter for fluorescent lamp and a fluorescent lamp using the starter
Inventor: LI ZHENXIANG
IPC: H05B41/08
Filed: 2002-12-13
Granted: 2008-08-07
Abstract: A glow starter for fluorescent lamp and the corresponding lighting fixtures therefor are disclosed. The unique glow bottle of the invention comprises a stem assembly (1) having a short lead wire (2), a bimetal sheet (3) spot-welded on the short lead wire, and a long lead wire (4); an envelope (5), said stem assembly (1) being sealed within said envelope; and discharge gas (6) filled in the envelope (5) after vacuumization; the short lead wire (2) is coated with cesium-based compound (8) and a glass, ceramics or metal lantern ring(9) is disposed around the short lead wire (2). According to the invention, metal cesium with low work function is adopted, so the starting under a completely dark condition is implemented by means of field emission, and the requirements of environment protection are fully met because of replacing the radioactive material of the prior art with cesium-based compound; the release amount of cesium is controlled by using the lantern-ring structure, thus the electrical performance of the glow starter can comply with the regulations of the national or international standard. <IMAGE>

Inventor: WATANABE COLIN K
IPC: C07K16/30
Filed: 2004-04-27
Granted: 2007-07-19
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.

Title: Inhibitors of PGHS-2 transactivator activity
Inventor: HUNG-YUN LIN
IPC: G01N33/53
Filed: 2006-05-23
Granted: 2011-08-04
Abstract: Prostaglandin-endoperoxide H synthase (PGHS-2) converts arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H. PGHS-2 is an inducible gene product undetectable in most normal human tissues, but abundant in cancer cells.

Title: Variable cohesive gel form-stable breast implant
Inventor: MAXWELL PATRICK G
IPC: A61F2/12
Filed: 2006-10-25
Granted: 2013-07-04
Abstract: A variable cohesive gel form stabilizing implant is disclosed for augmentation or reconstruction of the breast. The prosthesis of this invention comprises an implantable shell or envelope (not limited to a single shell or envelope), filled with a biocompatible gel, or gels, having alterations in gel cohesiveness to maintain stable form, shape, and dimension after surgical implantation. The gel cohesiveness may increase, with increased volume or dimension of the prosthesis. The variable cohesiveness of the gel filler material may be altered by any means (i.e. chemical, fabrication, etc.). The variable cohesive gel form stabilizing implant has shape retention characteristics to maintain its form, thereby reducing or eliminating the undesirable effects of shell wrinkling, knuckling, scalloping or deformation, which can occur at the upper or lower pole of the prostheses, along the perimeter of the shell or at the base, post-implantation. Finally, the variable cohesive gel form stabilizing implant provides new control and possibilities for achieving and preserving the most natural breast shape.
